"The violent incidents took place between 5:35 p.m. and 6:55 p.m. The first incident involved a woman in her 40s, who was grazed by a bullet in the lower back, and a man in his 20s who was hit by a bullet in the leg. Both victims were admitted to Kings County Hospital and were listed in stable condition. Barely 40 minutes later, at around 6:12 p.m., a man was slashed with an unidentified cutting instrument."
"At 6:46 p.m., two other men were shot in the shoulder. One of the victims was taken to Kings County Hospital, while the other man got to the hospital on his own. Both were listed in stable condition. Less than 10 minutes later, a 53-year-old man was shot in the neck and leg, and a 40-year-old woman was shot in the ankle. He was taken to the hospital, where he was listed in critical condition."
Six people were reportedly shot and one person was slashed after the West Indian Day Parade along Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights on Sept. 1. Four separate incidents occurred between 5:35 p.m. and 6:55 p.m. as the parade was winding down and crowds dispersed. The first incident grazed a woman in her 40s and hit a man in his 20s; both were hospitalized in stable condition. A man slashed around 6:12 p.m. suffered multiple injuries, refused medical attention, and was uncooperative with investigators. Later shootings wounded three more people, including a 53-year-old man listed in critical condition. No arrests have been made. The NYPD deployed thousands of officers along the nearly two-mile route, a deployment larger than the Times Square New Year’s Eve assignment.
